CPU Load / Very slow pages loading

I'm running it on a dedicated server with Plesk 9, PHP Version 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.14 / 64Bit OS with 512 MByte memory (using 71.3 MByte, 14%). Everything works fine, and pages load between 0.5-1.5s depending of the contentm, and the CPU Load of the server is between 0%-2%

I've made a copy of this installation and database for upgrade the template. I've updatde Porfolios, Widgets and others, and everything works fine, but the CPU Load increases to 99%-100%. I've create the cache folder in the theme folder, give it 777 permissions, etc and nothing change the CPU Load. I've tried to disable WP-SuperCache, and the same. And, watch this, the page load time increases up to 121.719s! When I switch to a WP Built-in theme, everyting works fine, and the CPU Load is between 0%-2% again.

Spent a lot of time on this, and don't find where the problem is. Even I've purchased Persuasion 2.0, and the problems are the same (it's the same framework).

Thanks for your help, if you need more information, please, ask me and will send it.

I'm getting about 20 seconds before the page loads and it's constant for each page no matter how many images your using, etc etc. I would say it's something to do with the server. Have you contacted your hosting provider?

I've talked with my dedicated administrator, and he can't tell me what's wrong or whats the script that is causing problems... any suggestion? What's the best server configuration for your framework (which are you using in your demos)?

Hi Webtrats,
Yesterday I've been working on .htaccess files and it seems that the problem is there, because meanwhile the new site is not published, there are two .htacces files, one in the /httpdocs/ root and the other on the /new-site/. I'm still working on it, I'll try to put the this code into the root and tell you how it works.

Hello again Elliot & Webtreats,
Do you have any idea, before trying to install everything from 0? I've been trying everything, even to reinstall the pluguins and there's always the same result: the CPU loads increases a lot, and when don't, the pages load very slow.

Hello Elliott, thank you, it works, without an .htaccess files, the cpu load is 0%., but when another one is recreated (I'm using fancy permalinks), the cpu load increases again. The permalinks structure is: /%category%/%postname%/ and the htaccess looks like this:

We have checked the top processes via top ssh command. When Awake is activated, there are some processes using a lot of CPU but we can't identify which scripts causes it. What server configuration do you recommend (its a dedicated one)?

They told me that the problem is on the template. I suspect that is on the updating script (I've done all the steps specified on your website). Take a look here http://test.feedbackmp.com/, it's a new WP installation, importing your XML content file (and the content of my current site),with the same plugins activated, the same htaccess... and it works fine and the cpu load is about 0-5%

Yes, probably because there is no response to the database queries, which are all sleeping. I will set it back to the old Infocus, and then you will see that the page loads fine (except for the menu, where I am told that the 1.6 infocus doesn't support WP menus).

If I have the WP Maintenance plugin ACTIVE, I can see the site just fine. The moment I deactivate (not disable) the maintenance mode, it goes back to lots of sleeping queries.

I've been working with WordPress for a while now and I wanted to say that MysiteMyway is by far the best support I have come across. I've purchased about 30 themes, Dejavu was the first from these guys and I couldn't be happier!

Your themes and support are the best in the entire Internet universe! Over the years I have bought many themes that never work as advertised. Your 30 day money back guarantee is a no brainer risk on your part: Who would ever want their money back? The designers, QA and support staffs are a throwback to the good old days when businesses cared about the quality of their products and their customers.

I just wanted to say, that this theme is absolutely amazing. The documentation is superb and the customer service is above and beyond! I would have spent MORE for such expertise and service that you receive with this product.
Thanks so much and keep up the amazing work!!!

Just a quick thanks for producing such wonderful themes. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the amount of time, skill and craftsmanship that wen’t into these. The detail is incredible, every corner I peak into I find something that surprises me. And the documentation, it’s extremely well written and very easy to follow.
